Midway Airlines (ii)

…

The roots of Midway Airlines (ii) go back to a company that started as Bader Express Service in 1983, operating from Bader Field in Atlantic City. The carrier was renamed to Jet Express in 1985 and it started “low-fare” flights to Chicago-Midway, Los Angeles, Phoenix and New York. It also became a TWA-Partner, operating feeder flights to TWA’s network. In 1993 it bought the name Midway Airlines from the bankruptcy of a former airline. Midway initially began in Nov1993 with Chicago Midway-New York LaGuardia service with two Fokker 100s. Midway continued to fly during reorganization, but after the terrorist attacks of 11Sep2001, Midway never restarted operations after airspace was shut down, and ceased operations on 12/Sep/2001 (the last flights were on the morning of Sep2011). Following $12.5M in financial infusion from the US federal government, Midway resumed service using their fleet of 12 Boeing 737-700 aircraft from RDU under its own livery on 19Dec2001. It finally ceased operations on 30/Oct/2003, through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy when it was unable to acquire enough capital to stay afloat
